This application relates to a bathroom fixture for hygienically housing a number of bathroom appurtenances, and is a continuation-in-part of my application entitled Rotatable Container andsupporting Means Therefor, 612,730, filed August 2'7, 1945, now Patent No. 2,506,864; I

An object of the invention is to provide a cabinet for a number of bathroom appurtenances, which cabinet is provided with interior provide/a bathroom cabinet which shall be of especially small depth but which will at the same time house a number of bathroom appurtenances.

An additional object of this invention is to provide a cabinet with means for supporting a maximum number of bathroom appliances including containers for housing substances which may be of a poisonous character.

A further object of the invention is to provide a bathroom cabinet with means for supporting, containers adapted to house poisonous substances in such a manner that the containers will form a permanent part of the cabinet and which containers are mounted upon supports or pedestals which do not interfere with the housing of other articles and the supports therefor.

Additional objects will be found through the specification.

In the drawing the single figure is a front elevation of the cabinet with the cabinet door in open position in order to disclose the interior construction of the cabinet and the mounting of articles on the back surface of the door.

As shown in the drawing, the letter A indicates the cabinet and B the cabinet door. Referring to the cabinet A, it will be noted that this cabinet is of comparatively shallow depth, especially in view of the large number of articles housed therein. The cabinet A and its door B may be constructed of any suitable material such as sheet metal and the door B may have on its front a looking glass (not shown) such as is usually provided in cabinets of this type.

The body of the cabinet A has a rear wall I which supports a number of articles. The pedestals 2, 3 are fastened to the rear or to the side wall by suitable means such as the flanges 4 and 5 respectively. These pedestals are for the purpose of supporting the perma- Serial No.

Located substantially midway between the containers is a hook o1 other support 6 attached to the rear .wall I, for supporting the ice bag indicated in dotted lines. 1

The rear wall also supports, adjacent its lower extremity, brackets I, 8 and 9 which are adapted to support a douche, syringe and nozzles. These brackets are located to one side of and below the pedestals and the ice bag;

The door B is hingedat ID to the body of the cabinet and the back surface of the door is indicated by the numeral II. V

A curved or arcuate track or shelf |2 is fastened by ears l3 to the back surface ll of the door. This track or shelf I2 is U-shaped in cross-sectional dimension as indicated in the drawing and located midway between the ends of the shelf is a hook M or other supporting means. This hook is for supporting a rubber bag having a hose attached to the end thereof. A supplementary shelf or track |5 is shown attached to the back surface this shelf being located underneath the shelf l2 and slightly to The containers 26, 2'! which are permanently mounted on the pedestals 2 and 3 respectively are of substantial cylindrical construction whereby they may be rotated. When either container is rotated, the opening 28 will be in position for access to the interior 29, as will be seen by reference to the container 26 located in the upper left-hand corner of the v cabinet.

the curved track [2. The distance between the ends'23, 24 is indicated by the numeral 25 and it maybe ten inches so that when the door B is closed there will be a perfect nesting arrange ment of the several article and supports located within the cabinet.

It will also be noted that the sliding rod H is so mounted that it does not'interfefe with the containers 26, 21 as the door is opened or closed, nor do the hooks B and I4 interfere with each other as they are located in different vertical dis tances from the top of the interior of the cabinet and the top of the back surface H of the door. It will also be noted that the secondary track I5 is also spaced inwardly a distance" from the hinge It! so that it does not contact the container 21 when the door is closed. I w

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the invention may take several forms and the protection afforded to this invention is not to be limited except as defined in the appended claims.
